My name is Valvatorez, a demon vampire from the Netherworld. At home I am a Prinny Instructor. Several people have no idea what a Prinny is or looks like. I've drawn you all a picture with the limited abilities of this laptop.

They're normally much bluer than depicted here. This is what sinful human souls are stitched into when they reach the Netherworld.





I am a "yellow". If you need assistance in any quest that involves fighting I will make myself available. It seems the quests that are up at this moment require either blues or reds, except ruining somebody's day. That one is a free for all. If you would like me to ruin your day, I will oblige.

There is a growing store of fish in the ice house. Not all of them have color. Feel free to take what you need.

I do apologize, but.

Is that a joke.

[promissum]

I don't joke.

[troubadamsel]

So you're saying that when human souls, especially those who have sinned so deeply, have died, they are put into bird costumes.

I feel I'll regret asking, but the reason is...?

[promissum]

Only those who have sinned deeply become prinnies.

They are cheap to manufacture.

[troubadamsel]

[she regrets having this conversation.]

Why are they in costumes at all, cheap or otherwise???

[promissum]

If we left them in their human bodies, they would have a hard time accepting they were dead.

They may also reject the hard and painful labor that a prinny must perform.

[ color! ]

What do you teach them?

[troubadamsel]

[That first part... sort of makes sense. Sort of. Kinda. Just barely.]

As punishment for their sins, I take it.

[promissum]

The rules of being a prinny, how to work hard, accepting that they've died.

[promissum]

That is correct. They need to work hard to pay off their sins in order for them to reincarnate back to human.

[osteotome]

So you guide sinners who need to work hard after death. That sounds like a difficult job.

[promissum]

That is correct. It may be difficult, but it's fulfilling. I enjoy it.

Shame there aren't any here.

Why penguins?

[ he has...so many questions about this arrangement, but a lot of it pretty much comes down to "why anything." ]

[promissum]

I don't know who made the original decision.

These skins are cheaply made, so the costs stay down.

[whereabout]

Are the skins authentic? Or just styled after birds?

[ Are dead souls in his world actually wearing cleaned and treated bird carcasses as costumes? What a horrifying thought. ]

[promissum]

Have you ever seen a penguin with bat wings and peg legs?

[whereabout]

No, but I have seen penguins in a complete range of rainbow colors and with stupid mohawks. I'm not taking anything for granted.

hahaha holy shit

why is it cute

[promissum]

The prinny skins are artificially produced. Demons do not go around terrorizing animals, only humans.

[promissum]

It is best if they do not look threatening. It helps them acclimate to being at the bottom of the demon hierarchy.

[whereabout]

Where I come from, the penguins are pretty good at terrorizing right back.

[ And don't even get him started on sheep. ]

Okay, though. I won't go so far as to say it all makes sense, but that seems to be an occupational hazard of being in a place like this, anyway.

[robitussin]

i for one am personally glad that beginner demons have to be humbled by being unfairly adorable

[promissum]

Life, as a whole, rarely makes sense. One moment I was with my comrades and another I found myself in a well full of strangers.

Dwelling on how little sense it makes will not change anything.

[promissum]

Do you really think they're that cute?

[robitussin]

if that drawing was not supposed to be cute you aren't a very good artist
